    Ford 9N - discharging quirk ??!!!??

    Thank you JMOR for your continued interest. I ordered a solid state cutout from Dennis Carpenter yesterday, $69.50 plus shipping. Hope that is the end of it. I will take a look at the links you provided, just curious how difficult it would be to make. Brian

    Ford 9N - discharging quirk ??!!!??

    Well, I tried again, after turning off the tractor, the contact was stuck in the closed posiiton. I jumpered the GEN side of the cutout to ground, and she stayed closed. No luck there. I plan on buying another (the third) cutout, and seeing if that takes care of it. Brian

    Ford 9N - discharging quirk ??!!!??

    OK, I've been away a few days, but got back to this problem. I installed a new cutout, but am still puzzled by the cutout staying closed each time the motor is stopped. Now I am running without the cutout cover so I can watch the contacts... Starting with the gap open, it stays open until the...

    Ford 9N - discharging quirk ??!!!??

    As for quality of the parts, the first one was purchased from Dennis Carpenter, not sure where it was made. The second was from New Holland, with CNH box, but looked just like the first one. $26.00 from New Holland. $20 from Carpenter. If I have to go buy a third, I guess I'll try solid state...

    Ford 9N - discharging quirk ??!!!??

    Hello- I have a quirky problem with my 9N electrical system, and am hoping someone will have had the same experience or can offer a solution. This is a fresh rebuild with a brand new harness, generator, and cutout. I believe all is connected correctly, and have checked that thouroughly. Tractor...

    9N Battery Grounding

    Thanks, Don. That's exactly the information I was looking for. I'll order a 10" cable from Carpenter. Oddly, their catalog shows that part for an 8N only. Best - Brian

    9N Battery Grounding

    Thanks to all for the great information. I want to stick to the factory look, so I'll try running it to the tray first. It would really be a great help if an image could be posted of the as-built connection, since the Dennis Carpenter catalog lists this short cable as correct. Maybe batteries...

    9N Battery Grounding

    Hello - My 9n has a cast aluminum one-piece dash. I"m finishing up restoration and about to install the battery...I bought a 5 1/2" long positive cable (braided uninsulated type) and can"t seem to find a logical place where the ground end attaches to the tractor!! Embarassing I know, but can...
